Throughout the convention I will be taking photographs, recording audio, and updating this liveblog with my experiences.

Checked in 51 minutes ago. After I checked in, despite being told earlier the hotel wouldn’t allow it before 3pm, I ran into Ben Gerber and his wonderful wife in the lobby.

My room is AMAZING! King size bed, couch, lots of space. Check out the below picture of the room and the view from my balcony. Did I forget to mention that? Yeah, I have an inside balcony looking over the pool. If only I brought my swim trunks with me. Oh well, this is a GAMING convention, not a swimming one.

Time to head down to the con, check in there, get my nifty badges, and take photos of the games.

@Eric Ben mentioned that this is a liveblog posting, which auto updates. It is great for passing on snippets of information but the plugin we use doesn’t make it crystal clear to you the viewer.

Also, I personally hate that each update can get our standard post footer at the bottom. That just makes it confusing.

I’m sorry for the trouble this has caused but hope the coverage was interesting for you to read.

We will be providing additional coverage in our podcasts. I’m sure that Ben will discuss the con on Indie Talks and Growing Geeks. I recorded audio live from the con for my show Wargaming Recon. I’ll also discuss it on my other show Geeks Explicitly.
